Grand Ole ___

OPRY

This famous Nashville venue has hosted country music legends since 1925 and is known as the "home of American music."

"Grand Ole ___" is a well-known nickname for the Grand Ole Opry, a famous weekly country music stage show in Nashville, Tennessee. The clue plays on the phrase’s familiarity—most people recognize it even with the last word missing. Since "Opry" is the distinctive part of the name (short for "opera," though it’s not classical music), it’s the answer that fits. Think of it like filling in the blank for a legendary music institution.
